REV. SAM. SMALL.-Many people seem
to have an impression that Rev. Sam
Small is an uneducated man, which is a
great mistake. He is college graduate,
and studied law, was admitted to the bar
and practiced successfully some time,
and was several years editor of leading
Journal In the South. He has travelled
extensively In foreign lands, and held an
important official position abroad under
President Hayes. In addition to all this
he Is possessed of unusual abilities as a
public speaker, and for wit, pathos, and
zeal he has few equals.

The Argus has gathered the opinions Of
a number of our business men and mer-
chants with reference to the proposed an
nexation by purchase of the Maratime
provinces of Canada. These opinions are
of little Importance, rs one merchant re-
not practical or probable. The opinions
cover not only the schemes of annexa-
ton by purchase, but commercial union,
reciprocity and free trade. They are col
ored, of course, by the political predilec-
tions of their authors, and in this respect
form curious medley. The free trader
wants reciprocity, but the protectionist
would have fair exchange, remember
Ing that the people of Canada live under
a monarchial system utterly at variance in
principle with free institutions.-Erpress

After this episode all was plain sailing.
: The inmates Of Eld-Fleld and Glen Gore
became fast friends. They were constantly
exchanging visits; constantly dropping in
upon one another at unexpected, but delight
full moments; constantly lunching and din
ing together; driving, walking, rowing,
stiling, going to church, and, in fact, doing
eBery thing that firm and presuming friends
arc won't 70 do one with another.
Day by day Fairfax IS hold over the Prsn-
cess became stronger and stronger, while
she never once became aware OF 1t. Day by
day she began to look more eagerly for his
appearance. Day by day she took increas-
ing delight in his company, and day by day
more and more appreciated that many-sided
and cultured intellect Of his.
AT last the climax came-but far sooner
and in manner far different from that
which.he had planned
Whenever at all worried, he had habit,
as the reader may recall, of walking about,
gesticulating and muttering to himself, his
head cast down and his eyes fixed on the
ground.
One morning It SO happened that, while
waiting for Natalie to descend from her
room, he thoughtlessly allowed himself to
fall into a reverie. The old-time worries
and troubles, his uncertainty, the villainy
Of his present proceedings-all arose before
him in gigantic proportions. He sighed
deeply,and began his customary promenade
and audible utterance of his thoughts. With
clenchcd fists, corrugated brow, and long,
uneven strides, he paced about the room,
niuitering to himself:
i"My God what shall /, what can / dor'
How long this had continued no never
could be certain, but he suddenly became
aware that no was not alone.
lie hastily looked up and there in the
doorway holding the curtain aside with one
lovely hand and carrying in the other her
pretty walking-sacque that she was about

was removed, fresh color in his cheeks and
an apparently ingenious, easy manner.
She judged him TO be, perhaps, one and
twenty.
Dolores, after Max's introduction TO her,
took her friends hand, saying:
"Come, now, want my little mamma to
SEQ you"
"Who is your little mamma and whereof
replied he, still looking down at her, and
affecting TO be unaware Of Natalies pres
ence,
"Why there shc Is Don't you SEQ her"
Looking up, hastily, the young man blushed
(thank Heaven this was genuine, and stands
out like a refreshing green oasis in the des-
ert Of all his other artificial, cut-and-dried
nctions), appeared surprised, and quickly
and rather awlfwardly pulled of his hat and
bowed.
Natalie looked puzzled. And she was dis
turbcd Where had she seen that brow and
those eyes before. They both woro strange
ly familiar.
However, ere she had time TO continue
her reflection, the hat was replaced, and
Arthur Fairfax came forward, and smiling
ly said
"This little fairy has dragged me, willy
nilly into the presence Of a stranger who, /
trust, appreciates my situation, and will
pardon this seeming intrusionI"
What a pleasant voicel Natalie saw
on closer inspection that no was much older
than at FIRST sight he had appeared. She
now overshot tho mark, and called him
thirty.
In reply TO his remark, she answered,
simply and quietly:
III think you must be the gentleman who
has captured Dolores hearth

Mana Rochefort."
''Boniour, Mam'selle Rochefortw mock
ingly said Fairfax, with polite bow.
"Bonjour, Monsieur Foxw retaliated abe,
as mockingly but moro gracefully.
He departed, leaving Max behind him.
Blanche hurried after him, saying
"Madamoiselle wants me to say you have
left your dog"
'Blanche, tell her have hidden him
watch the little girl. he will not leave her
until l tell him to do 80. As l purpose never
to tell him this, madamoisclle can draw her
own inference; in other words, Max is
Dolores"
So saying, he FASTENED to Glen Gore, his
brain In whirl of excitement. He was al
most wild with Joy. But that iron will kept
his feelings under control. His victory was
phenomenal. Even in his widest dreams
he had scarcely hoped for any thing ap-
proachingit.
Not one move Of his had been wrong Not
plan had failed. He, the abductor Of the
Princess, a total stranger TO her, was yet
treated as an old and dear friend. There
appeared no one or no thing to interfere in
the least with his wishes. II she did not
now fall in love with him, she never would.
He knew it; and knew too that this was
his last as well as only chance; and this
knowledge helped to nerve him to his best
efforts. He did not dare once to abandon
himself to joy. Ho did not dare indulge in
sweet dreams, as lovers are wont to do.
Some men. when sentiment takes part In
their actions, seem to lose their Judgment
He know himself well. 1t must be cool,
deliberate, dspassionate calculation or ride
ulous failure. He must first get her love-
Then he could indulge his own.
Thinking the matter over calmly, no came
to the conclusion that it was best he should
not call again at present-for several days
at least He had made good impression
an astonishingly good impression. A
woman hroods over such little matters,
much more than man. He would give her
time to think upon the affair.
Familiarity breeds contempt" quoth he,
''and q too frequent visitor outwears good
impression. 1t will not do to make myself
too cheap, or to appear too eager Even
Natalie, simple and natural as she is, is but
human"
30 Mr.. Arthur Fairfax sagaciously re-
solved to keep aloof, knowing well that his
adored Princess would not forget him In
day or two-which period of time he had
allotted to himself as tho length OF his abb
senoo.
